Hey, are you listening? I’ve got an announcement to make…

In case you didn’t know, there’s a cheeky little tournament series happening online over on Betsafe and other MPN clients from 15th-29th September. It’s actually not cheeky, nor little, it’s MASSIVE with 94 events and over €1,000,000 in guarantees, not to mention the “Greatest Poker Player In The Universe” leaderboard competition with over €20,000 of added prizes!

There’s buy-ins to suit all pockets from €2.20-€320 with deepstacks, rebuys, PLO, 6-max and a main event for €110 with a €100,000 guarantee (lots of online satellites running daily so you can get in for a fraction of the price).

I’m going to be playing most events and will be streaming every day of the series on Twitch including some in-depth analysis, jovial banter and special giveaway competitions. Come join me for 15 days of streaming and get involved in the new twitch community for Betsafe!

Here’s how the UCOP Leaderboard works:

For starters, the winner of the UCOP leaderboard will be awarded the title of “Greatest Poker Player in the Universe” and a nice trophy for bragging rights. If that’s not enough to tickle your fancy the winner also gets a shedload of prizes.

Here’s a breakdown of the top 20 prizes

Player’s Choice Prize:

Players who win a Player’s Choice Prize can select from the following.

The fewer points you have, the better your position on the leaderboard.

If you win a UCOP event, you will earn 1 point. If you finish second you will receive 2 points, 3 points for 3rd place, and so on.

If you do not enter a tournament, your point score will equal the number of entries, plus one. For example, if 100 players enter a tournament that you do not play in, you will get 101 points for that tournament.

Your worst (highest) 15 point scores will be discarded when determining your overall score so even if you miss some tournaments it doesn’t affect your score too much.
